Mobile phones go retro with the brick-like Mini MOB handset

Remember the earliest mobile phones? Brick-like in shape and weight – but at least it allowed 80s high-flyers to avoid public phone boxes. And if you want to re-create that era, you can with the Mini MOB handset.

Yes, this is a modern mobile phone, shaped like one of the early 1980s bricks. But there is good news – this is a mini version, so less weight and it has some modern features like a music and video player, mini SD slot (128MB card included), USB connectivity and the ability to use it on all the major networks.

Available now, you can pick up one of these handsets for $326 (around £160). Yes, standing out from the crowd does come at a price.
